Can’t share Apple TV + on family sharing

We’ve set up family sharing on our IPhones in the family sharing and started a one year trail of Apple TV +. The think is on my iPhone I can see a lot more films and programs then on the other devices. They are offered to buy or rent them. On settings it shows that we share tv-channels and purchased apps.

any ideas how to fix this?

Apple TV+ is different from the Apple TV app. Apple TV+ is just one of the services in the Apple TV app. Having Apple TV+ in Family Sharing just shares access to this one channel.

What is Apple TV+?

Apple TV+ is a streaming service featuring Apple Originals — award-winning series, compelling dramas, groundbreaking documentaries, kids’ entertainment, comedies, and more — with new Apple Originals added every month.

Other streaming services may or may not allow for Family Sharing, depending on each service. Linked apps for other services and their content may show in the Apple TV app, but have their own terms and conditions. Other members will have to install these third party apps too, to see the same ‘hub’ functionality.
Purchased iTunes Store movies and TV shows can only be shared if the organizer has activated the Purchase Sharing option for Family Sharing.
Rented iTunes Store movies are not shareable.
